MY EYES

Poem:
MY EYES
   
  MY EYES

SEE

I SEE WITH MY EYES

BUT BELIEVE WITH MY HEART

I WAS BORN AND COULD NOT SEE
BUT I FELT MY MOTHERS LOVE BY MY HEART

MY EYES,
DID NOT SEE BUT I KNEW MY MOTHER
HER TOUCH WAS LIKE NO OTHER

MY EYES

DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WOULD SEE

MY EYES
WERE OPENED AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE


MY EYES
I KNOW, I HAVE BEEN DECIEVED

MY EYES
WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I DID SEE
I SAW WHAT, I WAS NOT TO SEE

MY EYES

MY EYES, IF THEY COULD ONLY KNOW, WHAT I DO, BY WHAT THEY SEE
DO THEY CONTROL ME? OR DO I?

MY EYES
DO NOT KNOW TRUTH FROM A LIE

MY EYES
TOLD ME I WILL DIE

MY EYES
IF THEY COULD TALK THEY WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY

MY EYES
IT SEEMS ALL THEY WANT IS TO PLAY

MY EYES
IF THEY HAD A CONSCIENCE, IT WOULD BE DEAD

MY EYES
ARE HOW IT WOULD BE FEED

MY EYES
I AM TOLD ARE THE WINDOWS TO MY SOUL

MY EYES
HAVE MADE ME HAPPY AND SAD

MY EYES
HAVE MADE ME ANGRY AND MAD

MY EYES
HAVE SEEN LIFE AND DEATH

MY EYES, MY EYES


MY EYES
DO NOT HAVE A CONSCIENCE OR A BRAIN
BUT BY THEM I HAVE SEEN AND FELT PAIN

MY EYES
CAN NOT TALK
WHY DO I HEAR WHAT I HAVE SEEN

MY EYES
CAN NOT WALK

WHY

DO THEY TAKE ME WERE I DO NOT WANT TO GO

MY EYES!

MY EYES
WHY WONT YOU LET ME GO?

MY EYES
HAVE MADE ME OLD

MY EYES
I THINK MAY BE THE WINDOWS TO MY SOUL

MY EYES
HAVE LIED TO ME, AND DISTORTED MY PERCEPTION

MY EYES
HAVE MADE ME, NOT LIKE YOU!

MY EYES
HAVE CONTROLED MY THOUGHTS

MY WALK

MY TALK

MY EYES
HAVE MADE ME LIE, WHEN I SAW, WHAT I SAW. BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN.
WHEN WHAT I SAW WAS COMPARED TO MY PAST VISIONS.

MY EYES
HAVE MADE ME NOT LIKE ME OR YOU

MY EYES
DO NOT KNOW TRUTH, OR A LIE, ALL THEY KNOW IS WHAT I THINK

LIKE A HOT STOVE, I HAVE BEEN BURNED, BY ITS FIRE AND HEAT, LIKE A CHILD ON THE STOVE I HAVE BURNED MY HAND, I KNOW BECAUSE OF THAT IT HURTS. NOT KNOWING THAT, THAT HAS THOUGHT ME ONE THING, NOT THE HOLE THING. IT CAN BURN YOU AND MAKE YOU DELICIOUS FOOD TO EAT, TO GIVE ME STRENGHT FOR LIFE. IT IS MY DECEPTION OF THE HOLE TRUTH THAT DECIEVES ME FROM THE PAST, TO THE FUTURE.

OF WHAT

I THINK I SEE

IT IS ALL HOW YOU SEE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND NOT THE FIRST IMPRESION, WE ALL HAVE HERD IT SAID FIRST IMPRESIONS,

BUT THE TRUTH IS WE ALL KNOW THAT FIRST IMPRESIONS ARE DECIEVING TO THE EYE, TIME IS THE TRUTH OF ALL THINGS.

THERE IS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!

MY EYES
DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY SAW

MY EYES
DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY SEE

MY EYES
ARE DECIEVED BY MY UNDERSTANDING, FOR THEY DECIEVE ME, BUT NOT MY HEART


I SEE NOW
LIKE A NEW BORN

NOT WITH MY EYES

BUT

MY

HEART

THE HEART
   
Author: Dale Root
   
Poem: THE HEART
   

The Heart

I was crying out in insanity of my mind

I fell to my knees in a heap of tears

WHY

Do I feel these tears, so dark inside
I feel nothing but my fears

My mind is out of control like night and day
I think I have lost it and do not know where to go

Am I going insane or coming out of it, how do I know?

How do I know if I am or if I was
I am trying to hang on to what I do not know

Does it hold me or do I it?

I cry my self to sleep I pray to God

I feel something I have not known
It moves
When I groan

For my life, I seek my mind, I do not know what to think

What did I find?
I cant tell if I am crazy or if I am sane
I do not know, how can I? I have never played this game
I feel something inside now like never before

Now I know

My mind was the door
I was shut up in my mind
Cut off from my heart
I could not find it till I ripped them apart

Now I know that is my heart

I HAD TO LOSE MY MIND TO FIND MY HEART

I could not find my heart till I lost my mind, it was all so dark

When I found the door, I found my heart
when the door had opened I did not know light from dark
Till that one day they were separated and torn apart


Now the door is open to my heart
I see now and can tell light from dark

Now I know the light always keeps them apart

The dark kept me under lock and key
Together they can not be

The Heart
It is the only place where the light can live, but you need to open your mind to let it in
So I hope and pray that you lose your mind as I did so that the eyes of your heart may be opened to see in the dark.

NOW

You will be able to tell them apart
your mind from your heart.
